[No. 66

Minister may give permission to the Council to discontinue
the supply at such intervals of time and for such periods as
he, the Minister, may think expedient. When the supply is
so discontinued public notice shall be given, when practi-
cable, of such discontinuance and of the probable duration
thereof.

NOTICE OF EXTENSIONS, ETC.

27. Before proceeding to erect any electric lines herein
    authorized, or the extension of any line already erected, the
    Council shall give at least one calendar month's notice in
    writing to the District Engineer of the Public Works
    Department at Wellington, and to the Telegraph Engineer of
    the Post and Telegraph Department at Wellington, or his
    deputy, of its intention so to do. Such notice shall be
    accompanied by a plan showing the location of the proposed
    electric lines or extension.

COMMENCEMENT OF SUPPLY.

28. The Council shall not use the said electric lines, or
    any portion thereof, or permit the same to be used, for any
    purpose until the Minister has given to it notice in writing
    that he has received from the Inspecting Engineer a certificate
    that the works hereby authorized, or the portion as afore-
    said, have been satisfactorily carried out.

INSPECTION OF WORKS.

29. The Minister may at any time order an inspection to
    be made of the works, lines, and wires of the Council used
    for electric lighting and power purposes. If any defect is
    found to exist it must be remedied forthwith, and if such
    defect is, in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer, serious
    the Minister may, on receipt of the report, direct the Council
    to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of
    the Council's lines and wires or over any specified part thereof
    until such defect is repaired or remedied. The cost of such
    inspection shall be borne by the Council.

COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS.

30. For the purpose of ascertaining whether the conditions
    of this license are being faithfully complied with by the
    Council, the Minister, or any person appointed by him in
    that behalf, may at all reasonable times enter on the lands
    and works and inspect the same.

ASSIGNMENT.

31. This license, and the benefits and obligations hereunder,
    shall not be assigned by the Council without the express con-
    sent in writing of the Governor in Council first had and
    obtained; but such consent shall not be withheld if it is
    proved to the satisfaction of the Minister that the trans-
    feree is financially able and suitable to carry out the works
    specified in this license.

DEFAULT AND PENALTY.

32. If the Council fails to comply with any of the condi-
    tions of this license the Minister may, by notice in writing,
    require the Council within thirty days to remedy the default
    specified in that notice; but it shall not be held to have
    committed default for any failure to maintain power con-
    tinuously if such failure is due to the breakdown of machinery
    or other accident, unless such breakdown or accident is proved
    to be due to negligence on the part of the Council; and if
    the Council fails to comply with the terms of the notice
    within the said period it shall be liable to a penalty of £20,
    to be recoverable by or on behalf of the Minister as a debt
    due to the Crown. The recovery of a penalty under this
    license shall not affect the liability (if any) of the Council to
    pay or make compensation in respect of any damage or injury
    which may be caused by reason of the default.

REVOCATION OF LICENSE.

33. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause
    of these conditions, if the Council fails to comply with the
    terms of any such notice for ninety days after the receipt
    thereof, the Governor in Council may thereupon revoke this
    license without further notice.

PUBLIC WORKS COMPENSATION, ETC.

34. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed in any way
    to interfere with, affect, or abridge any rights or powers
    vested in His Majesty the King, or in the Governor on his
    behalf, or the Minister, or any other person under any Act
    of the General Assembly authorizing the construction, manage-
    ment, or working of any public works. Nor shall His Majesty,
    or the Governor, or the Minister, or any other person be liable
    to pay to the Council any compensation for injury done to
    the works herein authorized by the construction, manage-
    ment, or working of any such public work as aforesaid, or
    for the loss occasioned thereby, or for the exercise of any
    such right or power as aforesaid.

By-LAWS.

35. By-laws for controlling consumers' installations may
    be made by the Council, but such by-laws shall not be en-
    forceable unless approved by the Minister.

ELECTRIC LINES OUTSIDE BOROUGH.

36. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the
    Council shall not be entitled to erect, maintain, or use any
    electric line within the Counties of Oroua, Manawatu, and
    Kairanga except subject to such conditions not inconsistent
    with the provisions of this license as may from time to
    time be agreed on between the Council and the Councils of
    the aforesaid counties respectively.

COMMENCEMENT OF LICENSE.

37. This license shall come into force on and after the date
    of publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.
